Hi All....
some of you may wonder how i got on at court ?
Well.... Ahem !!
6 points... & £300 fine
£250 fine + £35 court cost + £15 TAX
total =£300 apparently you now have to pay TAX on your fine... Bloody outrageous !!!!
apart from that i think i did well all in all :)
Could have been worse i guess btw you from L E
not from L E... but yes i have lived here for the past 24 years.. was born in nott's..Quote:

Congrats Von!! You did very well to walk away with your licence:D
Don't shout too loud about the tax
Sounds like a result to me - I got 6 months ban and £250 fine, and that was nearly 20 years ago

had me a tug back in the 80's "run with a mad lot from nott's" we all got a pull at the same time, well 3 of us did,
50 in a 30 zone.. was a good job the speed trap was only about 200 yards from the traffic lights where we blasted off from..
anyway we got nicked on the old system think it was £1 per mile over the speed limit..
we got 3 endorsements + £20 fine + £25 costs = £45
bare in mind we were only on about £70 a week
hells bells grim what speed was you doing to get £250 ?
i know most 1000cc bikes topped out around 140mph back then with the exception of a few... one comes to mind "Bill Hunters GSXR1100 turbo" he used to run with us at times...
luckily he won't with us that night :)
I suppose you're lucky overall.
I got 3 points for a 40/30 which I would have contested but a solicitor said there was no chance of avoiding speeding tickets - although if you deliberately shoplift you get to sign a piece of paper promising you won't do it again :no:
A nurse who stole a dying man's wallet from his bedside cabinet got a 3 month suspended sentence.
You and I have points on our licences for 3 feckin years! :mad:
think it's 4 years now... valid for 3.. but can't have them removed for 4..
just had it back today from court ... it's wrote in ink (Biro)... so i take it the DVLA never had it...
go figure :confused:
i did got done in 2000 for 101mph on the m5 by stroud got 5days and £100 fine , took my dad with me he was a magistrate so new all the rules , 5 days included the day at the court . just proves its who you know . law enforcements a joke
under 60 days.... they don't even mark your licence for that.... you got off Scot free..:)
sept the 100 quid.... nice one
yeah i think so it also had no effect on me at all because it was november so not much rideing , the 5 days included the day i was in court and i get picked up for work . they even said i could pay fine weekly
Looks like you got the same punishment as me. See you in 2011 for another rideout :~
Hi norfolk....
i can do steady.... well for the next four years anyway..:)
